        you simply do not respond to that point , for whatever reason.
        (Nor to others -- admittedly less important points, like a
        request to know when is the planned day zero meeting and asking
        to ensure there is no overlap with JNC meeting in the afternoon

      </font></p>
    <p>Now, it seems that some discussion is happening for many months
      about review of IGC charter.. No one really know why, how, or such
      about this. Not one word, justification, etc have ever been
      advanced on this list, much less put that to discussion, on what
      the charter says as the primary workplace of the IGC.</p>
    <p>Who is proposing such amendment, and why? What are the triggers,
      reasons, justifications......!!???? Is this too much to ask...</p>
    <p>I have not followed this discussion of this small group, which
      shows up off and on, but always remains very unclear about what
      exactly is happening. But in between I read somewhere, someone
      talking about amending the charter, and another saying the charter
      may be saying this, the original person pressing for the amendment
      saying, ok, but where is the charter, I havent seen it !!!????
      People want to amend the charter without having seen it... What is
      happening here. <br>
    </p>
    <p>I do not want to bring up issues about how submissions have been
      made on the behalf of IGC, without following any kind of due
      procedure, and when the charter is absolutely clear as well as
      insistent about the due process, and so on, many things....</p>
    <p>I was trying to stay off, but this is becoming  a real mess,
      sorry...</p>
